A spring of spring constant k is attached to a support at the bottom of a ramp that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A bloc

k of inertia m is pressed against the free end of the spring until the spring is compressed a distance d from its relaxed length. Call this position A. The block is then released and moves up the ramp until coming to rest at position B. The surface is rough from position A for a distance 2d up the ramp, and over this distance the coefficient of kinetic friction for the two surfaces is μ . Friction is negligible elsewhere.
What is the distance from A to B? Suppose the values of μ, k, d, θ, and m are such that the spring fully extends, but the block never goes higher than 2d .
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables k, μ, m, d, and θ.


More than anything I'm just confused by the question. If someone could at least draw the picture I might be able to figure it out. Thanks.

Answer:

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

Energy lost  by the spring, W=Kinetic energy gained, KE+Potential energy gained, PE+Work done by friction, Fr

0.5kd^{2}=0.5mv^{2}+mgLsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta x

x(mgsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)=0.5kd^{2}

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

The required distance from A to B is x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

A block pushed along the floor with velocity V0 slides a distance d after the pushing force is removed. a) if the mass of the bl
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

a) \ d_2=d_1\\b) \ d_2=4d_1

Explanation:

Assume that the distance travelled initially is d.

In order to stop the block you need some external force which is friction.

If we use the law of energy conservation:

E_i=E_f\\\frac{mv^2}{2}= E_{Friction}\\E_{Friction}=F_{Friction}*d\\F_{Friction}= \mu_kmg\\\frac{mv^2}{2}= \mu_kmgd\\ d=\frac{v^2}{2\mu_kg}

a)

Looking at the formula you can see that the mass doesn't affect the distance travelled, as lng as the initial velocity is constant (Which indicates that the force must be higher to push the block to the same speed) therefore the distance is the same.

b) If the velocity is doubled, then the distance travelled is multiplied by 4, because the distance deppends on the square of the velocity.

What impact do ocean currents have on the transfer of energy and climate
maxonik [38]

Answer:

It moderates the temperature of coastal areas. The cool waters brought into warm areas temper the climate as well as the warm waters that enter a cool area there by moderating temperatures and climates.

Explanation:

One way that the world’s ocean affects weather and climate is by playing an important role in keeping our planet warm. The majority of radiation from the sun is absorbed by the ocean, particularly in tropical waters around the equator, where the ocean acts like a massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Land areas also absorb some sunlight, and the atmosphere helps to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.

The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area.

Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides. Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines.

Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents in the ocean, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.

Dmitry [639]

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection will always be equal.

When a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.
